The city of Heidelberg and a SOTA summit
The morning was spent visiting the city and the castle in Heidelberg. We parked in the parking at the Karlsplatz (7.50€ for around 5 hours), and first took the cablecar to the castle (9€ per person, including entrance to the castle).
From the castle, one has a nice overview of the historic town and the old bridge over the Neckar river.
One building in the city caught my special attention because of a sign on the wall.
I always thought that Bunsen was the man of the Bunsen burner (what else?), and Kirchoff had done nothing but make the laws of current nodes etc. ... and spectral analysis had the name Fourier written on it ... but back home I looked it up, and yes, the sign is correct, but this seemed to be about something else than Fourier analysis ... read more about it here.
After a quick lunch we drove to the free parking on the summit of the day.
DM/BW-114, Königstuhl - 568m, 4 points
Parking spot is here : 49.402465, 8.727815
Parallel to the parking is a road (part of the Königstuhlweg) where cars are not allowed, so I set up in a quiet spot along that road. I had 21 QSO's on 60-40-20m , a mix of SSB and CW. Strange enough, I could not catch a single S2S here.
